What injector? You mean fuel injector? Don't think this is related to SAT.
Transmission issues? Read the following post.

Hey Timur,

I know a guy who coded 2TB and tried to use the launch control.
Something went terribly bad. He heard a loud noise coming from the rear as something had cracked.

He sent the car to the dealership and this guy has not confirmed yet but they suspect it's one of the rear shafts. Sad

I'm not saying that launch control will ALWAYS cause this kind of issue as this may have been caused by bad batch.

You guys who use the launch control frequently should be careful.
Actually I don't see any reason to use the launch control because it puts too much stress on the drivetrain due to high low end torque figures and heavy weight.

We have an automatic gearbox and no matter what it'll always launch like a fat turtle.

This is the one area that still irks me because my CA lead me astray when I ordered my car....telling me the Sport Auto was simply the "gimmick" of paddles and that was all it was. It was almost as if he was telling me it was a waste....I didn't realize the part about faster (or snappier) shifts!

Anyway....I have a 2013 Sportline 335i with the MPPK. I already have Sport+ and the ability for the gear selection to show up on the dash (M1, M2, etc) when I'm shifting manually with the stick to the left. It sounds like most people writing on here DON'T have these things and want them coded....does my car already have the Sport Auto? More importantly....if I try to have the Sport Auto coded (assuming I don't have it), I have a few questions:

1) It seems the coding suggested on this thread provides Sport+ as part of the Sport Auto upgrade....would the fact that I already have Sport+ goof something up with the coding (trying to add something I already have)? Same question can be asked about the manual shift notations that already show up on my dash (M1, M2, etc.).

2) Would coding the Sport Auto jeopardize or affect my MPPK? Is it possible the MPPK already offers some options from the Sport Auto....thus the reason I'm seeing the manual designations on my dash when stick is to the left?

3) If I were to have the Sport Auto coded, is it the type of thing that could be erased every time my car is in for service and the dealer does any type of DME work or gives me a software update? If so....if I pay to have Sport Auto coded once, I guess I pay a coder again over and over every time this happens if I want Sport Auto back on my car.

I do not care about the paddles themselves (just the faster, snappier shifts) and I know absolutely nothing about coding or the mechanics of my car. Also, I have no idea what software version is on my car or even where to find that info. Any help to my above concerns would be much appreciated.....thanks in advance!

Sport Auto shows S1-S7, not M1 -M8.

Thanks for clearing that up regarding the S1, S2, S3 vs. M1, M2, M3, etc....

Now....anyone have feedback on the other bits I brought up? Again, I appreciate the help as I know some of you are very much in the know regarding coding. I know absolutely nothing.

It'll actually show M if he manually up/downshifts.

The Nerd,

What shows on the dash once you pull the stick to the left?

As far as I remember, if you don't have SAT, it'll show DS. Right Shawn?

Another way to know is how smooth the gears engage.
In comfort mode it should be smooth while in manual or sport it should be harsh like an actual clutch. Don't know if harsh is a proper word to describe how it shifts.

Ok....so I think the one question is answered....I don't have the Sport Auto (due to stick showing DS and M1, M2, etc). I really didn't think it had it, but I was just checking.

I DO have Sport+ because my car is a Sportline. So I'm still very interested in the other questions I asked if anyone can help (how will it effect MPPK? how will it effect already having Sport+? will it get erased every time BMW does a routine software update or DME work? do people pay to have recoded over and over and over when it gets erased?)

In SAT mode, you get S1-S7. When you are in SAT, and then manually up/downshift with the Gear Shift or Paddles, it switches to Manual Mode and you get non-SAT M1-M8. And yes, non-SAT Sport Mode shows just DS.

Ok....would coding this into a car that already has Sport+ negatively affect anything (trying to code in something that's already there)?

Also, if Sport Auto were coded in, what happens when the dealer does software updates or other DME work? Could it be erased? If so, would I have to pay again over and over to have the Sport Auto "recoded"?

Don't know about MPPK. You'll have Sport+ and SAT.

I've serviced my car two times so far and the dealer's never updated my ECUs.
So it actually depends. I think that one day or the other you'll have to recode the ECUs so IMHO you should learn how to do it by yourself.

Shawn won't let me lie. I gotta say I learned the hard way and I almost bricked my father's car. Just don't click on Code default Values and you'll be fine.

I have a MY14 m-sport w/o SAT. The car drives like a beast already when I switch over to M/S and let the car itself work through S1-S7 in Sports+. Are others using this as a comparison when coding SAT?

Hi guys me again. So I was wondering if the bms stage 1 was compatible with sport + and SAT ?? Also, I just updated my system at the dealership and its unable to code now.

Oh and 1 more thing, when you put it in sport plus and use the tiptronics manual mode, and it selects to S1 , does it auto shift??

Yes it does auto shift. S1 puts your transmission into sport mode. If you see M1 that means its in manual mode & you have to shift.

1. Change 205 to 2TB in the FA.
2. VO Code EGS, [B]KOMBI, and ICM.

You will get a Chassis Stabilization Error when you VO code the ICM. Turn the car off and back on again and the error should go away.

Hi guys, I just updated my car, and I cannot put sport + back on properly even though I had it on perfectly installed before. The only thing wrong is that its not being displayed in the instrument cluster that it says sport +, it shows up on the GPS display when activated meaning i can still use it, but its not displaying inside the instrument cluster where the selection words come on. Is there an update or something?
